Unprecedented take-up may make AI chatbot the fastest-growing consumer internet app ever, analysts say
ChatGPT, the popular artificial intelligence chatbot, has reached 100 million users just two months after launching, according to analysts.

Analysts at investment bank UBS said the rate of growth was unprecedented for a consumer app.“In 20 years following the internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app,” UBS analysts wrote in the note, reported by Reuters.

OpenAI, a private company backed by Microsoft, made it available to the public for free in late November.and is at the forefront of generative AI, or technology trained on vast amounts of text and images that can create content from a simple text prompt.
On Thursday, OpenAI announced a $20 monthly subscription, initially for users in the United States only. It would provide a more stable and faster service as well as the opportunity to try new features first, the company said.

The growing usage, while imposing substantial computing cost on OpenAI, has also provided valuable feedback to help train the chatbot’s responses.
